Groundbreaking for National Teachers Academy was held March 14, 2001.

Mayor Daley opened this school Sept. 4, 2001. This is a three-story 83,000-square-foot building with specialized computer, science and math labs; a resource center with complete Internet connectivity; and space for 850 students.

The grand opening for this addion was February 5, 2002.

Mayor Daley cut the ribbon to open the new addition on September 10, 2002.

Construction of the $16 million addition, which will add 15 class-rooms to the popular high school and extend the campus north to 35th Street, will be completed in 2002.

The design will fit better into the surrounding 35th Street commercial district thanks to a cooperative effort by the Public Building Commission and the community. At the request of the Bronzeville Merchants Association, the PBC redesigned the appearance of the new addition to make its 35th Street side more architecturally inviting, adding wide windows on the first floor and an entrance on that side of the building
